Unfortunately, it's not just because the ladies are buying them anymore...

The hipster community has given me another reason why I'd like to break whatever goofy glasses their wearing while they're still on their face; an increase of "skinny jeans" sales for men. The market for these wearable junk smashers has grown because 1/3 of them are being purchased by guys.

Now before you get your already-bunched up undies even more wrinkled, allow to explain my displeasure: I'm not ripping on the idea because I'm sexist or I think it makes you "less of a man." I'm saying, even if you're not sexually attracted to women, let's just be honest, they look better on ladies! Seriously, women have the far more pleasing figure, no matter the body type, than most dudes who think they're gonna "rock" these things.

Harry Styles and Russell Brand have been caught wearing these on purpose in public (Just the name Russell Brand gives me another strike against this trend, mostly because I think he's probably one of the most unfunny idiots I've ever seen). Assuming you could even get their wallet of the butt pocket, you've got a good chance of getting away from them since they won't being able to catch you in their leg dungeons of denim.

It's not like guys don't know their making an odd choice, since online sales make up the vast portion for men. Top that off with 1/4 of men experiencing a bladder infection, and 1/5 "enjoying" a twisted testicle, low sperm count and fungal infections, and I can't find a reason except the overwhelming need to look ridiculous.
